Once your Vetcove account is created, the next most important step is to make sure your vendor accounts are connected. By linking your existing vendor accounts, you retain your special pricing and promotions and allow your reps to continue to receive their commission.

It's simple! All you have to do is visit the Connect Suppliers page, which is accessible at any time by clicking the little person icon in the top right corner and selecting 'Connect Suppliers.'

On the Connect Suppliers page, you will see all of the vendors currently supported by Vetcove. When you click on a vendor, you'll want to enter in the same credentials that you use to shop online on that vendor's website! Once you do so, you'll be fully connected.

If you run into any trouble when connecting your vendors, a quick tip is to be sure you are manually typing in your credentials. This will ensure that you have the most up-to-date credentials! Once you're connected, your unique prices and promotions with that vendor will now show on Vetcove! For more detailed step-by-step instructions, check out this article.

🔥 Hot Tip: Set your shipping minimum for each vendor by clicking on a supplier from the Connect Suppliers page. At the bottom, click 'Set Shipping Minimum.' Next, you'll be able to enter and update your clinic's unique shipping minimum with that given distributor. (If you don't know your shipping minimum, reach out to your distributor rep!)

Once you've updated your shipping minimum, you'll see a yellow flag in your shopping carts whenever you have not yet reached that minimum. No more unexpected shipping charges!

Our homepage bar is designed for you to easily locate and navigate all of the features and tools available to you on the Vetcove platform!

To add an item to your Vetcove cart, in the right-hand column, simply click on the vendor you'd like to buy from. A window will appear that displays vendor-specific information about the item. You may then select your quantity and click 'Add to Cart.' This item will now be placed directly into your Vetcove cart for that vendor!

From the shopping cart page, click the big blue 'Proceed to Checkout' button. We pull in all billing and shipping information from the vendor websites, so checkout is easy and quick. You will see any vendor promotions at the second stage of checkout. Once you checkout, your order is placed immediately with the vendor! There are no shipping lag times!

Please note that the vendor still processes, bills, and ships orders as if you ordered from their website. Your vendor reps will still receive the same commission and credits for online orders. If you ever need to cancel or change an order, the vendor will best be able to help you do so!
